Boom! She's learned an important lesson and so too hopefully have her enablers but come on, let her learn her lessons and atone.

We give that opportunity to murderers and rapists and other felons, right?

Average starting wage for US teacher: $41,163

Average starting wage for US truck driver: $71,830

And that's not even getting into the average teacher's college debt: $30,000!

Rage on about that Mr. Wise.
